Although any site can go at anytime, most of the ones on the list I would expect to see around or a very long time. You have written a great article. If you want to know about blogging, Jack Humphrey really is the guy to read. Jack as well as Brian Clark and Darren Rowse have all had some similar topics, but are all worth reading and are all very great guys as Susan had mentioned. Linda,

It's always enlightening to have clarification and extra information. I'm always surprised at how much in the world I have yet to learn...and excited at the prospect that there still is so much to learn. I will look at the those references. Thanks for adding your expertise. - Linda Susan, thanks so much for chiming in! It’s always enlightening to have clarification and extra information.

Brian Clark of Copyblogger.com (ranked 5th on your list above) wrote the Forward for my copywriting book, "Kick-ass Copywriting in 10 Easy Steps", and I used to work with Darren Rowse through b5media, so I'm a bit biased but I do love both of their blogs! :) Also, for starting a blog (since I'm the About.com Guide to Web Logs I feel compelled to chime in here), I have to recommend Wordpress.org hosted through a third party. If a person's plans for their blog are minimal, then Blogger.com is a good alternative. Just to clear things up, Gawker is a blog and corresponding network of blogs owned by Gawker Media, not a blogging application. Blogsmith is owned by AOL and powers some of their big blogs such as Engadget, but it's not a blogging application available to the masses to use themselves. Here's a good comparison of the most popular blogging applications for independent bloggers: http://weblogs.about.com/od/choosingabloghost/p/BlogSoftware.htm And here's an older article, but still relevant, with info about the top blog search tools: http://weblogs.about.com/od/blogreferenceguide/tp/Blog-Search-Engines.htm Linda,
